VP7

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TrueMotion VP7 is a video codec developed by On2 Technologies as a successor to earlier efforts such as VP3, VP5 and TrueMotion VP6. It is a codec with both VFW and DirectShow support that On2 Technologies claims has better compression than leading competitive codecs from the MPEG-4 and H.264 families.

In December 2005, Skype announced that they had selected the VP7 codec for point-to-point video conferencing.
